Final Cut Studio X . . . Stay Tuned
One of the big missing pieces to the Final Cut Pro X announcement last night was any mention of the rest of the Final Cut Studio suite of products. As evident from the comments in the live blog post, pros are very interested/concerned about where the FCP X sneak peek leaves Motion, Color, etc. [Read more…]
Final Cut Pro X Annoncement Video [Updated: Better Video]
(I use the word “video” very loosely.) However, I’ve embedded 4 videos below that contain almost all of the FCP X announcement. The videos were shot from the pocket of my camera bag and I was not monitoring the framing (because I was live-blogging the event and taking photos at the same time) – so I’m really sorry about that guys.
Dear Joby, feel free to kick me next time you see me for not bringing a Gorillapod with me. Anyway, you can see a somewhat reasonable amount of the projector and hear the commentary pretty clearly, which will give you a little better insight into the new software (perhaps better than my cursory commentary in the live blog post).
If you missed the live coverage, there are plenty of screen shots there, along with a summary of most of the key new features. Between the live blog coverage and these videos, you should have a decent idea of what FCP X looks like and how it functions. [Read more…]
Final Cut Pro User Group Supermeet – LiveBlog (Updated: Final Cut Pro X Officially Unveiled)
[UPDATE: Final Cut Pro X is now available in the Mac App Store here.]
This will be a live blog feed – with the newest updates at the bottom. (Hit the ‘Refresh’ button for updates.)
There is a crowd growing outside of the conference room of the Final Cut Pro User Group Supermeet right now. We’re all waiting to take our seats to see what everyone at NAB 2011 has been talking about for the past couple of days . . . the unveiling of the next generation of Final Cut Pro. (Let’s just say that better be what happens or their will be complete anarchy here.) [Read more…]
Canon EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro Updated
Ahead of NAB 2011, Canon has announced an update to the EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro. If you aren’t familiar with the plug-in, it aids with importing .mov files from Canon DSLRs. It transcodes the files to Apple ProRes 422 much quicker and easier than using MPEG Streamclip, which is what we used before the plug-in originally came out. The plug-in works with files from the Canon 1D Mark IV, 5D Mark II, 7D and 60D.
One of the previously frustrating features of the plug-in is that you have to maintain the folder structure of the CF card on which the files were captured – even if you move the files to your hard drive before you import the footage. The updated version will make this process easier and allow users to import files from any folder “without needing to mirror the folder structure on the camera itself.”
Although many FCP users have developed a consistent workflow to accommodate this file structure when importing Canon EOS movie files, it will be a welcomed change to take this superfluous step out of the workflow.
Version 1.2 of the EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro will be available to download for free on April 25, 2011. Watch the front page for the link as soon as it is available.
Apple to Unveil New Final Cut Pro on April 12
It is pretty much all but confirmed that Apple will be unveiling the new “jaw dropping” version of Final Cut Pro at next week’s Final Cut Pro User Group SuperMeet in Vegas.
Apple itself has historically had little presence at the SuperMeets; however, this year, the presentation schedule has been wiped clear just a few days before the event. The prior-scheduled presentations looked to be a pretty big deal in and of themselves – with Avid and Canon (among others) bringing in special speakers to cater to the crowd. According to all reports, this schedule clearing was done at the behest of Apple. [Read more…]

Check out the simple DIY instructions for the infrared iPhone adapter in the video below. [Read more…]
Apple Aperture 3.1.2 Now Available

Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Resolves Photoshop CS5 Bugs
The recent update for OS X fixes a conflict with Photoshop CS5 in OS X versions 10.6.5 and 10.6.6.
One or more of the following issues occur when you use Photoshop CS5 after updating Mac OS to 10.6.5 or 10.6.6:
- The warning, “Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?” appears when you open Photoshop.
- The startup screen reads White Rabbit, instead of Photoshop CS5, and looks different.
- Tools behave as if the Shift or Option keys are pressed.
- Your cursor remains the plug sign (+).
Upgrading to OS X version 10.6.7 should resolve these problems. You can upgrade to 10.6.7 by clicking on “Software Update” from the Apple menu in OS X.
